CP - thank you as always for the wonderful gifts, they are always fun, but I have an idea.
Instead of seemingly random junk, how about gifts that actually have a purpose, something that set you up for the upcoming direction of the game. Something more strategic.
For example, your buddy is going to start a new job as an art director in a cold place. For xMas you give him a travel bag, a coat and a sketchbook, something with purpose and direction for the task at hand.
Just a thought, would be really cool and super exciting. Either way, Happy holidays and thanks for everything. |

I remember the time we got to choose what we got from a list. Made damned sure to get those BPO's for the new Fuel blocks when they were converting POS fuel. Also you could choose if you wanted a second of the new Genolution Implants that had just been released. Was a good holiday......however I will concede that there is a chance I am misremembering this but I really hope not. |

I remember a time when people waited to see every gift they were getting before they complained about the gifts. If the last gift turns out to be pretty cool you're going to feel really stupid for complaining, aren't you? Latest video - Pandemic Legion titan and supers killed |

When I'm entertaining clients, sometimes the heat is so intense that the pipes over my 'sleeping' area start to rain on us from the condensation.
Some waterproof sheets would be a wonderful gift. Or perhaps a lovely umbrella?

I am interested if they will add up to a complete frigate fit. Maybe another Magnate? This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

If it's useless crap then you won't mind contracting it all to someone who will appreciate it, one mans crap is another mans gold. |

Digital Messiah wrote:I don't understand why everyone complains about "free" gifts, expansions, and festival events. You all deserve potatoes It's really easy to understand, if you flip the issue around a little in your head. Why shouldn't people be complaining about bad or useless items? The fact it was free is not an important consideration when looking at its undesirable qualities. Others look at them simply as gifts and are taught to be polite and appreciative of such things no matter what the gift actually is. It's the thought that counts and all that.
When you get an undesired gift what do you do? I'm polite and thank them for the gift. I appreciate the gesture and am truly grateful, but crap is crap and my storage space is limited. When the gift giver is gone I'll dump that crap in storage or think of a way I can sell it to someone, so something good can come of it. I never re-gift gifts that I've received. For some reason I've been taught it's not appropriate. |

Probe launcher, analyzers, cloaking device, warp core stabs.
I don't think the gifts are random, they all seems to be exploration related. I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |

I remember a time when people didn't look gift horses in the mouth. They were wiser times as horses have horrible mouths and try and tread on your feet. here is a list of all the fiat currencies that didn't end up at zero value.....and here is a list of the places where a currency pegged to a real commodity has successfully co-existed with compound interest....-á Here is a physics professor explaining why sustainable growth isn't a thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-QA2rkpBSY |

Well you make stupid claims all the time and you still seem happy with yourself. I should be fine.

Sod off you ungrateful sacks of sh*t.
You're no better than those spoiled over-privileged brats of the gimme generation that whinge their parents didn't give them 3000 dollars worth of high tech presents.
CCP gave us a cool advent calendar to open every day. Advent calendars always had tiny chocolates in them - not 1kg bars.
Thanks CCP for the festive spirit. Please use your Dev powers to flag people that whine unappreciatively of your Xmas festivities with a public killright. |
